Another big weekend!<\/p>\n
After what was a relatively quiet weekend last week, with barely any football and relatively minor URC games, we are back with some serious action.<\/p>\n
The League of Ireland returns with some huge fixtures, the Champions Cup knockouts are here, and, of course, Limerick v Cork in the National League final.<\/p>\n
